An independent firm co-investing in and advising private companies, seed to Series B.

Romera Partners is a partner-led firm. Engagements are run at partner level from the first call through to close — the people you meet are the people doing the work, and there is no committee standing between a decision and the deal.

We invest from our own balance sheet. No fund timeline, no outside LPs and no pressure to deploy on someone else's schedule — which means we can move quickly when a round is right, and pass just as quickly when it is not.

We work with founders and investors who are rarely in the same country, and often not in the same region. Cross-border is the normal case for us rather than the exception.

The investing and the advisory work feed each other. The analysis we run before committing our own capital is the same analysis a company needs to defend its number in a round — so we do it once, properly, and both sides benefit.

We come in alongside the lead rather than setting terms ourselves. That makes us straightforward to add to a round: no separate negotiation, no side letter, no drag on your close.

We do our own work before committing — the numbers, the market, the model — and we come back with a clear answer and the reasoning behind it.

At early stage, the number a company raises on is often the least examined part of the deal. Founders are asked to justify a valuation without the tools to build one, and investors form a view on price from a deck and a conversation.

We build it properly instead: comparable transactions, cash flow where there is any, and the methods that fit the stage. The company keeps the work.
